Chapter 703: Major Events (II)
Liu Zhubo finally understood.
Wang Ju was moved to participate in political affairs, and many people knew about it, and I am afraid that even some ordinary people heard about this appointment.
But the appointment has upset some.
In fact, in the Song Dynasty, the military achievements were great, and it was generally difficult to have any good results. Not only in the middle and late stages, but also in the early stage, such as Li Chuyun of Pingjingchu, who was demoted. Wang Quanbin of Pingbashu was demoted. Even if they made serious mistakes, what about Pan Mei and Li Jilong? Pan Mei has made so much credit, and the highest official position is only an envoy of the Southern Yuan of Xuanhui, and then because of Yang Ye's affairs, he was also demoted. Is Yang Ye's death a bigger mistake than Cao Bin's defeat at Qigou Pass? Let's not talk about the god of war Li Jilong. Di Qing was even more sad.
Or are they military generals, so what about Zhang Kang?
Cai Ting has a little military merit, but he is a privy deputy envoy, and Wang Shao is the same, and he is still Zhang Ji in the back, and he has not caught any envoys.
This Liu Zhubo didn't think deeply, he only thought that Wang Ju had offended some big people.
What to do if you are not happy?
So there is this rap book.
Don't ask what the effect is, and look at Di Qing's fate in the capital, it is precisely because of some inexplicable rumors that the ministers began to have a reason to attack, and finally left Xifu, and because of the breath in their hearts, they finally died of a back gangrene attack in anger.
Go forward for a while, to Xia Zhu, before the Qingli New Deal, Xia Zhu's performance has been very good, with political achievements and talents, and he also helped Fan Zhongyan, Pang Ji and Han Qi. The disadvantage is just too much enjoyment, but how many people in the Song Dynasty are not greedy for enjoyment? Look at Xiao Song, Da Su. But because some people are unhappy, there are some rumors in the market. People haven't arrived in the capital yet. He was dismissed as prime minister.
As long as these singing books are spread all over the world. What followed was undoubtedly countless recitals of impeachment of Wang Ju, well, the goal was achieved!
In fact, Wang Anshi was scandalized in this way, but this Liu Zhubo didn't think much about it.
and then to Yizheng County.
The reason why he unscrupulously made people rap this paragraph was the normal route for Wang Ju to return to Beijing. The normal route from Dali to the capital is nothing more than three, one is the road taken by the women and children of Wang Ju's family, from Guangnan West Road over the Ling Canal, from Xiangshui to the Grand Canal. Direct access to the capital. Then it is from the Wuman Road, either from the land to Bashu, from the Sword Pavilion back to the capital, or from the waterway from the Three Gorges to the capital. No matter how you choose, you won't pass through Qiongzhou.
However, Wang Ju passed by Qiongzhou and heard this record book, how could Wang Ju not know the seriousness of the matter? So there is the current story.
At this point, Yao Zhixian had no choice but to twist his head and fight Wang Juzuo to the end.
But...... But you are just a small county, and the gods above are at war. You can stand in line, but you can't directly start a war with the gods. Isn't this even me going to be dragged into the water?
A small magistrate actually asked the dignified deputy minister of Dongfu, and this new vice minister of Dongfu, everyone in the world knows that he is not a lord to be messed with, a ruthless lord, thinking of the story of Wang Ju before, Lord Liu's two calves trembled.
Actually, he only wanted to be right partially.
Wang Ju looked at Yao Yi, almost angry, and said, "Do you blame me?" ”
"This is a matter within the jurisdiction of the Governor, and the Judge must ask clearly."
"Okay, I'll give you an explanation, Fang Cai is still talking to the guest at home on the road, the autumn harvest is coming, and the autumn tax is about to begin. However, the biggest strange policy in Bashu is that Bashu is the main production base of silk, because the imperial court let the people of Bashu use cloth to pay taxes, which has led to the shortage of cloth in Bashu, which in turn allows merchants to transfer cloth from Jinghu South Road to Bashu for sale. A guest in a certain family said, why not let the people use money instead of cloth to pay taxes, wouldn't it save a lot of waste? One is convenient for the people, and the other is beneficial to the imperial court. ”
"By the way, he is a certain guest recruited from Dali, so he doesn't know much about the situation in China. So a certain explained the reason, want to solve, one is a number of road transportation, but several road transportation, quite difficult, and Bashu is rich, Jinghu Road is the input road, not the output road, if Shaanxi Road and Bashu are exchanged, maybe it can be realized. The second is that our dynasty has been lacking in trading currency, so we have to transfer more copper coins from Bashu to the Central Plains for circulation, so Bashu uses iron money and Jiaozi. ”
"In fact, in the final analysis, it is a lack of currency, so a certain person has been trying to solve this problem when he was an official in Shaanxi. So what is the relevant hard currency, preferably copper coins, followed by gold and silver. ”
"Prince, the lower officials are not talented, I want to ask, where do I have enough gold and silver?" Yao Yan sneered.
"Yes, our dynasty presents a large amount of silver to the Western Xia and Liao countries every year, even if the trade is beneficial to our dynasty, we cannot trade all this silver back, and the same is true for the sea route, because the overseas countries are too poor, and the result of actual overseas trade has led to the loss of a large number of copper coins and gold and silver overseas. Coupled with the increase in the number of people, the demand for gold and silver also increased, which led to the fact that the price of gold and silver has been slowly rising. However, the official has already begun to solve the problem. However, with the abundance of silver taels, there is another malpractice, and our dynasty has always regarded gold and silver as a commercial commodity, so it is necessary to pay taxes when entering the city and the field. So there is another situation, in some silver-producing areas in Lingnan, one tael of silver is worth only 1,000 wen, but in the capital it has reached more than 2,000 wen. The exchange ratio is unstable, how can they be regarded as quasi-currencies and reserve currencies? In order to persuade the official family after returning to Beijing, a certain brought back two thousand taels of silver from Dali, and each field service would pay taxes in accordance with the rules of the imperial court, and see how much silver would be left when he finally arrived in the capital. ”
"In Dali and Guangnan West Road, this official used his power a few years ago to get out of the cloth and not to levy gold and silver taxes, so since Yazhou, a certain began to officially pay silver into the city tax, two thousand taels, and here, there are one thousand eight hundred and twenty-one taels, well, in those two boxes. By the way, a certain hand also kept the Zhu copy of the taxation of various field affairs. ”
What Yao Yan caught was that Wang Ju used silver to tempt a few officials to be greedy.
In the Song Dynasty, there was no such thing as fishing law enforcement, but the truth is pretty much the same.
And so it is.
However, Wang Ju made a point, which is related to the future of the country. Then it's not fishing enforcement.
At least elsewhere. Wang Ju also "exposed". But all the way quietly, why did something happen here?
Beads of sweat broke out on Yao Yan's forehead again.
Is it true that he stiffens his neck and has no pressure in his heart?
What to do? What to do?
Yao Yan thought for a while and asked, "Prince, then why do you only let the servants you recruited from Dali answer?" ”
At this time, he was also in a hurry.
Yes, the problem is here, if it weren't for Zhang Nantuo stepping forward to speak, he would be stupid. Instead, it was replaced by someone else, with a Central Plains accent, Wang Ju and his party were freshly dressed and angry, even though they were greedy, but did they dare to seek money and kill themselves?
But can this be asked?
Wang Ju sneered: "Aren't Dali people human?" As a Shu official, have you forgotten Quan Shixiong? ”
After Wang Quanbin pacified Shu, Zhao Kuangyin immediately sent the famous minister Lu Yuqing to Chengdu to put out the fire, and then transferred the original army of Shu to the capital.
These two edicts were opposed, and without these armies, there would have been no subsequent riots in Shu.
Yet halfway through. Because the officials deducted the military rations and salaries, and abused and disregarded the surrendered troops. So the army surrendered and elected the former Shu general Quan Shixiong as the leader and rebelled against the Song Dynasty. Wang Quanbin sent Liu Guangxu to appease, but Liu Guangxu wiped out the whole Shixiong's clan, and accepted his beloved daughter to be pretended, which made the whole Shixiong no longer have the intention to surrender, and then killed the capital eunuch Li Derong, called the king of Shu, and sent the army to Chengdu, and all parties in Shu responded with troops, and the mutiny in the sixteen states of Xichuan began.
Later, although the whole division was extinguished, but left a bunch of problems, the first Song Dynasty in order to extinguish the whole division of the hero, had to rely on the strength of the local heroes, so after the rebellion to the local heroes, let them exploit the common people, so the notorious side households of Bashu arose, for the later Wang Xiaobo Li Shun uprising laid the fuse.
Bashu rebelled many times, the Song Dynasty in order to solve the problem with the smallest force, borrowed troops from Kuixia Man, but Kuixia Man did not play much role, but because of the imperial court's borrowed troops, more arrogant, so the Kuixia Barbarian area became the most dark place in the Song Dynasty, from now to this day, all kinds of ugly behaviors in the Kuixia area have not been well resolved.
Wang Ju is not talking about Quanshixiong, nor is he talking about the Kuixia area.
He was referring to the newly pacified Dali, which has not yet been completely pacified, and the fighting is still going on, especially in the southern and southwestern parts of Dali.
This is really normal, and it can't be compared with Wuyue in the Southern Tang Dynasty, after all, these two regions are the most developed civilization and the most financially wealthy areas in the Song Dynasty, and they are also the most docile areas for the people. Just like the Southern Han Dynasty, take a closer look at how Pan Mei and Wang Ming governed Lingnan and how much benevolent government they exerted, but there were still rebellions from time to time, and it took several years to gradually calm down.
If the merchants who came to Bashu at this time let the officials kill them one by one, and the news was transmitted back to Dali, what kind of consequences would it have?
That's the real big deal!
"Yao Zhixian, you are really well-informed, before anyone arrived, you knew what happened just now. But I ask you again, this Li Wengweng, his house is only more than 20 miles away from here, and he has paid taxes and taxes, why did he come here and force him to pay taxes and taxes? More than 20 miles away, there are two field affairs, Yao Zhixian, you really love the people like a son. ”
"Prince, it's not just Yizheng County!"
"Okay, even if there are many field affairs in other counties, I will ask you again, what is tax, what is tax?"
"It's over, it's over, this real city gate is on fire, and it will affect the pond fish," Liu Zhubo thought in his heart.
In fact, not all states and counties have a lot of field affairs, and it depends on how local officials govern them. Not only must we really care about the people, but we must also be able to fight these heroes.
Xu officials are produced from the powerful in various places.
However, regardless of whether there is more or less field work, according to the commercial tax system of the Song Dynasty, only one tax can be paid, and then another tax can be paid for each field service.
But here in Yizheng County, the taxes of the big and powerful families dare not be collected, at least Wang Jufang saw that this is the case, but he desperately collected money on the poor small and medium-sized businessmen, not only did he have a lot of field affairs, but he also did not levy taxes according to the imperial court system, and he was really extorted violently.
Where is it related to loving the people and taking care of the people's livelihood.
As long as this article is settled, all the officials of Yizheng County will be guilty of dereliction of duty.
Wang Ju pointed to Li Laohan again and said, "He has only one son in his family, but he was forcibly pulled to be a soldier. That's it, a certain and Xiong Gong worked together to pacify Dali and sacrificed some soldiers, but why didn't he receive much compensation? ”
Why did Li Laohan hear the applause of that record book?
His son died, but the court had no compensation, could he not be angry in his heart?
But the fact is that this time the imperial court pension is very generous, and it has nothing to do with the native soldiers, although the native soldiers are a little worse in the pension, but Kumamoto has broken several cities in a row, and has also obtained a lot of wealth, part of which is left to prepare for the war and the cost of future governance, and part of it is distributed as a reward and pension. The rewards for the living soldiers were issued directly in the barracks, but the dead martyrs were distributed by the local governments.
This part of the pension is combined with the imperial court pension, and in fact, this pension is still very generous.
Li Laohan's family did not receive any pensions, and there were only three problems, one was that the officials in Qiongzhou were deducted, the second was that the officials in accordance with the government were deducted, and the third was that the local generals were deducted.
But no matter what the problem is, both Qiongzhou and the officials who are in charge of government are at fault for their duties.
Not only was he expropriating violently, but also disregarding human life, Li Weng Weng only said a word, and then pushed him to the ground hard, and he was injured at once. What did Li Weng Weng do wrong? Also, in order to covet this silver, the silver box was deducted together with the official seal of a certain official and the edict of the official family, and then called the box soldiers, and as soon as they came up, they wanted to arrest a certain line, and if they were arrested, they directly used weapons, including bows and arrows, why? Want to shoot something? ”
What happened just now happened quickly, but it was indeed these dozens of soldiers who rushed over first, and then Wang Ju's guards stepped forward, and before they could fight back, the bows and arrows were put up.
Although it happened quickly, many people on the side of the road saw it.
At least now three guards and three horses around Wang Ju were injured.
With this article alone, this matter is stabbed. Did Qi Min really implement it in the Song Dynasty?
There is truth, authority, and reason, Yao Yan is speechless.
"I asked you, who is the money charge!" Wang Ju suddenly shouted.
"Qian Zhusi is a subordinate of the lower officials, and the prince is not easy to interfere with." Yao Yan continued to be tough.
It's just that Master Liu's thin eyes are dark, his body is shaky, and he can't wait to fall down...... (To be continued......)
